Chapter 98 – Friends and family
Jonathan and Liliana, along with their twins, were enjoying their time together without bothering about the news.
For the first time in his life, Jonathan was immensely happy and content at the same time. He vowed to protect his wife and children to the best of his abilities. He wanted to spend the rest of his life making up for his absence for the past 7 years.
Neither went to work or checked social media.
The next day all their friends joined them for lunch. Liam and Kyle, Mariana, Henry, Jennifer, James, and Vincent were present.
Liliana proposed an unusual toast to them saying, “If my husband and I are separated again, I hope you all will stay neutral and be friends with us both. And Mer, please don’t hold grudges anymore. I am equally at fault, and it can’t be excused just because I got pregnant and chose to give birth without telling him. Cheers to a fresh start!”
Liam knew it already so he just congratulated them, “Congratulations! You finally fessed up, Lil. And Jonathan, Lil is my sister and the only mother my son has ever known. I will bomb your house and company if you treat her badly.”
Mariana was still unhappy that Lil forgave him so easily, “I won’t say anything for Lil’s sake. You better be nice to her and the kids.”
Vincent was in a trance and finally exclaimed, “Oh my God! I have been searching for you for ages, why did you hide from us? Well, congratulations boss, your wife turned out to be your first love. That Lydia and all the Aprices are despicable.”
James was in a daze, “Why was I not invited to your wedding?”
Jennifer finally found her voice, “Oh My God! This is huge! Cong…Congratulations! I hope you will always be together and be each other’s strength.”
Henry was the last one to recover, “I thought I was friends with you both. You did not even invite me to your wedding and you hid it from me for so long. I can’t believe you two. Wait! Jonathan, have you been donating blood because you knew he was your son all along? No wonder you volunteered for the liver transplant.”
Liliana and Jonathan spent a lot of time explaining their relationship as concisely as possible and finally, all the friends knew that they had been separated for seven years.
The kids were having fun by themselves and Kyle decided that he would call Jonathan “Daddy Nathan!”.
The group of friends and family spent the day together and celebrated the joyous reunion. Though all of them had seen the news spreading outside, none mentioned it as they all knew that the couple was more than capable of handling it.
Besides, everyone other than James and Vincent knew of Liliana’s identity. They waited to watch a good show.
After dinner, everyone left for their own homes and the twins also went to bed by themselves.
The previous night the family of four had slept on the same bed as the kids had wanted to experience sleeping between their parents on the same bed.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Since it was the second day already, Li insisted on sleeping in their own bedrooms and dragged an unwilling Jo with him.
